Just finished this painting I started 2 years ago. She has gone through some major transformation and picked up a friend along the way (which you can see on my facebook page.. She is the Alchemist. To me this alchemist speaks of transformation, growth, and endless possibilities. Here is her message to me, what does she say to you?*********************************************************************************************************************************Dear Beloved,

Igniting ones fire isn't always easy and there is always potential to get burned. Don't be discouraged by this. Fire, heat, action, and movement are necessary in this life. Mistakes, pain, and hardships are all necessary too, otherwise you would not be able to feel the gratitude and the warmth that comes from the embers.

There will be flickers in your flame, those of joy and happiness and of sorrow. Some may even try to extinguish your flame, or you may feel like it is too much and wish to extinguish it yourself-don't. When you feel that polarity it means you are close. Don't give up.

Moving backwards is a direction just as good as moving forward. Direction is all part of perspective.

Remain open and true to your values. Define yourself-at every moment you are renewed. Check in often with your heart. I am here shining for you and with you. Remember even in the dark I am here with you.

Let your light shine on your journey, let others learn from you. Share your journey, it does not have to be alone.
